What are our needs now?

[diehardskin2982]

Now that we have Fletcher and Apparently Smoot, what is our strategy now? What area would you address and who would you try to get. I am going to put future aquisitions in a matter of position and who I hope we get.

DE: Kerney (at least bring him in for a visit) or Akaika Alama- Francis (Hawaii)
DT: Alan Branch DT
LG: Leonard Davis or Andy Alleman (Akron)
CB (Depth): Travis Fisher & Josh Wilson (Maryland)
TE (2nd String): Scott Chandler (Iowa)

With Akaika I am depending on Phillips still being here a year while this kid develops, he is a great athelete

What would you do... or what do you see happening?

[Pocket$ $traight]

Our needs are D-line and O-line.

I would trade down and pick one of those big pass rushers in the mid to late first round and pick the best available O or d lineman with whichever pick they get for moving down.

Use the draft to pick a blocking tight end and more O and D-line depth and please do not trade next year's picks for a wet ham sandwich this year.

I would like to see the skins make a run at Daniel Graham.

[mooby]

Didn't Daniel Graham sign with the Broncos?

[Skinz4life]

He visited but hadn't signed yet - last I heard he was going to Oakland for a visit.

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

well we need a Gm for one thing, we got to trade down and get some young talent on this team DL,OL and TE.

[Skinz4life]

I read the rumors about the skins dumping there FO once the draft is over - I hope that includes Vinnie C.

[Skinz4life]

I was just on ESPN's site and there doesn't seem to be any really good OL options after L. Davis and with so few draft picks we could find ourselves in a tough spot for any kind of decent depth.

Who's the best blocking free agent tight end out on the market?

[Skinz4life]

Here are the top TE's according to ESPN:

Hmmm, Graham will probably be out of our price range. Johnson can't block the wind. Gaines is a big guy that could prove useful on the line with our new tackle (whoever that may be). Stevens is a worthless punk. Kelly...ehh. Wiggins is old and complains about not being utilized. Seidman, Stewart and Snow - I have nothing on those guys. Kinney is sort of intriguing as long as he's recovered from his knee problems.

Well since we don't actually have anybody (read BODY) at LG i think that has to be priority over all else at this point.

[Smurf85]

Well lets see what we need.We need a OG and someone on the d-line.We are going to need another CB if we don't keep Springs.Lets hope we keep Springs and then we can worry about getting another CB next year.
